    Confused about finding faith.

    Thank you! That clears it up in my head. I think was confusing 'faith' with the actual belief in God. As in, I thought God gave belief in God as oppose to giving the faith to believe in God. I don't think that made sense, sorry! Other posters, I didn't follow but if you were trying to be helpful...

    Thank you childofGod97 :) Can I just ask one question please? Sorry! Did you mean in paragraph 7 that if by telling my family about my faith that I would do them more harm than good that I should keep quiet. I don't understand how it could have any bad affect? Sorry again!

I still have my doubts but I'm getting stronger and I pray to God to help me with them. My real problem is that I don't know how to tell those around me about my new...

    Hello - New Member.

    Hey, I'm from England :) Just came accross this whilst browsing the internet, seems like a really helpful place for me! I'm 16 now and for about 15 years of my life I was absolutely convinced that God didn't exist but about a year ago I began to doubt my atheism. I don't really know why. My...
